Day 12-London-Tower of London, St. Paul's, walking

Today we set out to see the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, and wondered around London.  There was a bike ride going on in London and many of the roads were closed.  This worked well for us as it made London more of a pedestrian zone.  The bike (not so much race but ride)-RideLondon Freecycle 2013

FreeCycle event
This was our favorite "bike"-I found this picture on joyofcycling.org.  The couch went by too fast for us to get its picture.  They had great music playing too.

St. Paul's Cathedral
Blue trees art work.  The blue is supposed to draw your 
attention and make you more aware of nature.

When I lived in London 20 years ago I ate tons of jacket potatoes.  
Covent Gardens had the best shops to buy them.
I loved the tag line-we never did get to eat there.
